Quad 2-input NAND — 7.5 ns at 5 V
The 74VHC00FT is a quad 2-input NAND gate from Toshiba's TC74VHC series, a high-speed CMOS logic family that bridges the gap between 74HC and 74AC in speed while keeping the low quiescent draw of CMOS. Quiescent current maxes at 2 µA across the full temperature range, so the gate adds negligible standby draw in battery-powered or always-on monitoring circuits.
Housed in a 14-TSSOP (4.40 mm width) with a 0.65 mm pin pitch, the package footprint matches the standard JEDEC MO-153 variation. The 8 mA symmetric output drive at both high and low levels is enough to switch a downstream CMOS input or a small LED indicator without a buffer.
